Differences in K-1 versus K-3??

[Lovemyhuegirl 0]

I have a guy who I introduced to my sister in law from Vietnam. My wife is already here. I filed for a K-1 visa for her. My now brother in law will have to file a K-3 or CR1 for his wife, but what I need to know is what is different about the initial packet that we send in? I'm familiar with the K-1 but not so much the K-3. From what I have read and the guide on here, it is pretty much the same for both other than the forms you send in. Thank you for your advice and time.

Better for your brother-in-law to consider the CR1 path for his wife. Here's an overview from one of my buddies, LotOfPatience: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/EZGuideSpouse

His wife would not need to adjust status anymore or apply for employment authorization or apply for advance parole; when she arrives in the U.S. she will be eligible for a conditional green card immediately and be able to work or go back to school without any down time.

Given it's a little longer process, but the advantages for her transition into the U.S. will be worth it.

Thread moved from Asia Regional Forums to CR-1 forum as question more appropriately relates to immigration issues discussed in this forum. Duplicate thread with no responses in Vietnam Regional Forum also removed. It is not necessary to post a question in more than one forum.
